The Great Bronze Blur

I'd like you all to meet my new ride to work:

There she is. 80cc's worth of pure, unleaded horsepower strapped onto a vintage bronze frame between two 20 inch white wall tires. She tops off at about 35 mph and kicks like a mule. In short, she's one sweet ride.

I know what you're thinking. "But Dennis, how can you possibly tame such a mighty hog?" The answer? You give me a vehicle with a tank that needs to be filled every 2 1/2 to 3 weeks, and I'll ride just about anything. Especially considering my commute to work everyday is 2 maybe 3 miles :P.

This summers been so unpredictable I haven't been able to ride it to work much, but I DO ride it just about everyday. Exploring the strange and twisted back roads around my house. I figure once the summer begins to fade and the weather seems to even out a bit I'll ride it to work more. Nothing like a bike ride on a nice fall day :D....ugh fall.....I can't believe I'm already talking about it.
